PRB: Error 3622 Open SQL Server Table with Identity Column

Symptoms

When you try to open a Dynaset in Visual Data Manager (or Visual Basic sample project VisData) against a Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 table that contains an Identity column, you may receive the following error message:

Error 3622 - You must use the dbSeeChanges option with OpenRecordset when accessing a SQL Server table that has an IDENTITY column.

Resolution

To work around this problem, set the Options property for the data control to dbSeeChanges (512). To change the Options property on a data control to the proper value, use one of the following two methods:
  • In the design environment, make sure that the data control is the selected item on your form. Then, go to the properties sheet, and set the Options property to 512.
  • In the run-time environment, use the following line of code to set the Options property of a data control named data1:
    data1.options = dbSeeChanges

More Information

You need to recompile VisData.vbp, create a new VisData.exe, and then copy it to the VisualBasic default folder.


You can modify the VisData sample to avoid the error. There are two places that you need to make the changes: where you open a recordset from the Database Window, and where you execute a SQL statement.
  1. In VISDATA.BAS, under the OpenTable() function, change:
       Set rsTmp=gdbCurrentDB.OpenRecordset(rName, dbOpenDynaset)

    -to-
       Set rsTmp=gdbCurrentDB.OpenRecordset(rName,dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)

  2. In VISDATA.BAS, under the OpenQuery() function, change:
       Set rsTmp = qdfTmp.OpenRecordset(dbOpenDynaset)

    -to-
       Set rsTmp = qdfTmp.OpenRecordset(dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)

  3. After Making Changes to VISDATA.BAS, recompile the VISDATA project and copy the compiled executable to the Visual Basic directory (which is \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Vb98 by default in Visual Basic 6.0)NOTE: There may be other areas of VisData code that would require changes based on which part of the VisData Tool you are using.
For testing purposes, table IColTest is created in Pubs database with one Identity column and one VarChar column. To create a table and index in SQL Server, select Pubs database, then place the following Create Table T-SQL in the SQL window of ISQL/W and execute it:

   Create Table IColTest
           (Id_Col int Identity, Name VarChar(30) Null)
   Create Unique Index IIndex on IColTest(Id_Col)
